Jason Bruges
Founder at Jason Bruges Studio
Jason Bruges Studio has become internationally renowned for producing innovative installations, interventions and ground breaking works. This practice involves creating interactive spaces and surfaces that sit between the world of architecture, site specific installation art and interaction design. Considered a pioneer of this hybrid in-between space, Jason has subsequently paved the way for a new genre of design studios, artists and designer-makers.
Lalit Chauhan
Urban Planner at ZEDfactory
Lalit has focused his career on working to explore alternative ways of achieving a good quality of life for future generations. As Architect & Urban Planner for ZEDfactory, Lalit is continuously finding ways to implement low energy strategies that can be applied to projects involving individual buildings to larger urban design developments. He plays a key role as ‘Energy Guru’ in the ZED team. Lalit has also given talks in JMI University, Delhi.
